Safety devices
Molift Smart 150 is equipped with several safety
devices, which are intended to prevent damage to
personnel and equipment in the case of incorrect
use.
The lifter has an overload sensor preventing the
lifter to be operated if the load exceeds SWL.
The lifting arm is hinged to prevent the arm
and suspension from squeezing the user. The
actuator will not produce any force when moving
downwards.
The legs are folded together during transport to
make the lifter as small as possible. When assembling the lifter, the legs must be opened to working position. The lifting column will not fix into
the bracket if the legs are not adjusted beyond
transport position - a safety feature ensures this.
The electronics are disabled if overheated. Wait
until the lifter has cooled down before using it
again.

Transfer
Plan the lifting operation in advance to ensure that
it is as safe and smooth as possible. Remember
to work ergonomically. Assess the risks and take
notes. The assistant is responsible for the safety of
the user.
Molift Smart 150 has a 4-point suspension for
different types of transfers; sitting, recumbent or
ambulating.
Molift Smart 150 / www.etac.com
Using slings
It is important that the sling has been tested with
the individual user and for the intended lifting
situation.
Read user manual for the sling
prior to use.
Do not to use damaged or badly
worn slings.
Slings made by other manufacturers
We recommend only using Molift slings. Etac shall
not be liable for faults or accidents that can occur
when using slings made by other manufacturers.
Lifting and lowering
The suspensions hook design prevents sling to be
inadvertently detached when mounted correct.
1. Check that the sling is correctly fitted around
the user and that the strap loops are correctly
fitted to the suspension hooks.
2. Stretch the sling straps without lifting the
user. Ensure that all four loops of the sling are
securely fastened to avoid the user slipping or
falling.
3. Lift user, and perform transfer.
When moving the user, stand to the side of the
person you are lifting. Make sure that arms and
legs do not obstruct the seat, bed, etc. Keep eye
contact with the user to help them feel safe.
The 4-point suspension must always be positioned
across the user, to prevent the user from unintentionally sliding out of the sling.
10
Page 12
Molift Smart 150 / www.etac.com
Transfer
Try to position the user as low as possible
(preferably resting the feet on the chassis) when
transferring the lifter with a suspended user. In this
way the centre of gravity will be low and reduce
the risk of instability.
Lowering into sitting
When transferring the user into sitting, the following techniques can be used when lowering the
user as far back into the seat as possible:
Never lift the user higher than
necessary to carry out a lift.
Remember that wheels on a mobile
lift must NOT be locked.
Never leave a user unattended in a
lifting situation.
Be careful during movement, the suspended user
may swing during turns, stops and starts. Be
careful when manoeuvring close to furniture to
prevent the suspended user from colliding with
these objects.
The lifter shall not be used to lift or
move users on sloping surfaces
A Position the user with the help of the push
handle
B Push gently on the users knees
C Tilt the seat backwards
User must be facing lifter when
lifting or lowering from or into a
chair.
Avoid deep pile carpets, high thresholds, uneven
surfaces or other obstacles that may block the castors. The lifter may become unstable if forced over
such obstacles increasing the risk of tipping over.
